1. Internet
Some websites post real-time gas prices. You may find the cheapest gas price
around your region on the web:
GasBuddy.com
GasPriceWatch.com
2. Cell Phone
If you send your zip code (postal code) to some companies, they will notify you
the cheapest gas price in your region by text message.
For example, [email protected] ([email protected]) or [email protected] ([email protected]) can send you real time gas prices.
The service is free if your cell phone plan covers text messaging.
3. Buy gas-saving cars, such as GAS-ELECTRIC hybrid.
4. Convert your car to run on WATER. Check http://mrbeanauto.blogspot.com/ (http://mrbeanauto.blogspot.com/) to
find out how to do it.
5. Try poor regions
The rich are not so sensitive to gas price changes as the poor. So usually gas prices in
poor regions are relatively lower.
6. Do not pour gas at gas stations close to highway or service bay.
7. The gas prices are more expensive at gas stations who provide maintenance service.
8. If you use Shell Mosaik MasterCard, you may get up to 5% cash back and other
discounts at Shell gas stations in Canada (annual fee is needed).
9. Save 2 cents per liter if you pour gas at Petro Canada using Citi Petro-Points
MasterCard. You also collect Petro-Points. (no annual fee)
10. Sometimes you pay less if you pay cash at gas stations.
11. Use coupons.
12. Participate in car-sharing plan.

More expensive on the highways....that's funny, cause here it is, but I never looked at it that way. But it makes sense, people are more likely to stop on a major road, than to go down, 3-4 miles into the city to fill up (especially when their gas light turns on lol).
Well, like on US-1, there's like a 10-20cent difference in price. You can turn down the road, into our city and find gas for 10-20cents cheaper :)
